Swaziland Driving Advice and Car Hire Info

Driving in Swaziland
You can drive using your home countries licence or an International Driving Permit.Swaziland drives on the left hand side of the road. Main roads are in reasonable condition but smaller roads may be in a poor state of repair. The main problems you’ll face are poor standards of driving, and possibly crime. Speed limits are often exceeded and drivers often disobey road rules. There have been a number of car jackings on the main roads from South Africa and Mozambique. You should be suspicious of anyone alerting you to a problem while driving. Try to drive to a place of safety before stopping. Also don’t pick up hitch hikers or stop to help motorists appealing for help-this is a favourite decoy for car-jackers. Avoid travel at night to avoid crime but also as roads are often poorly lit, as are vehicles. Also stray animals may be wandering in the road at any time but will present a major hazard at night.
